I first heard about this company after seeing this anatomy model of a Great White Shark linked on Neatorama, but I was at Griffith Observatory yesterday for a little presentation on Apollo 15, and stopped off in the gift shop while I was waiting, and found out what I'm gonna buy myself for Christmas!
4D Master-Products | Space Shuttle Cutaway 1:72 Model
(Now I find that this thing's been out since 2008! Dang! Behind the times again!
Starship Modeler - Aoshima's 4D Vision Space Shuttle Kit Preview )
I'd built the Revell 1:72 Orbiter kit just after STS-1 (even painted the missing tiles on the OMS pods!), and had the "Space Shuttle Operator's Manual" soon after. Looking at the awesome internal diagrams in that book, I always dreamed of having a model with all that detail! Why'd I have to wait thirty damn years?
Now, I know what y'all are thinkin': "But Chris! Most of us Orbinauts think the Space Shuttle was just a big White Elephant! We're much more interested in the Apollo era!"
4D Master-Products | Saturn V Cutaway 1:100 Model
4D Master-Products | Apollo 11 Command/Service Module
4D Master-Products | Apollo 11 Lunar Module
I only wish these things weren't so horribly expensive! (Well, at least you don't have to paint anything!)
And please forgive me if this thread seems like I own shares in the company... didn't mean to spam.
But I just thought the 3D modelers here, and the NAASP & AMSO users, would salivate over all that detail, just like me!
